Not quite. Your one rounds up therefore potentially overpaying...

What's the alternative?

Yes, should be a case of changing the formula for the last/cheapest stamp to be the same as the others.

However, it will not be that good at doing what you want, as the logic is to fit in as many of the highest value as possible, it won't look at permutations of only small value stamps.

Is VBA even necessary for this? I have no idea how that works (VBA that is...)

I'm just here to get assistance..

I know, so edit your first post and put links to all the other places you've asked this question

Does anyone know how to 'undervalue' as opposed to over value the calculation?
